Skydive Twin Cities is the largest skydiving center in the Upper Midwest. We offer a wide variety of airsports to the general public. Founded in 1975, the Dropzone is owned and operated by Kerry McCauley, who began skydiving in 1986 and has made over 20,000 skydives. Skydive Twin Cities hosts a meticulously maintained skydiving aircraft, the Cessna Supervan 900 (modified Grand Caravan). The Cessna Supervan 900 is a fast climbing turbine skydiving aircraft with a large capacity of 17 passengers and one pilot. We are located on our privately owned airport. We do not allow any other aircraft to use our airport. This makes it a safe, quiet landing area for jumpers. It is large, grassy, and obstacle free. For those making their first parachute jump, or as an experienced jumper, Skydive Twin Cities is recognized as the premier skydiving center in the Midwest. Since 1975 the school has been teaching the Twin Cities area to skydive. Skydive Twin Cities has the best and most experienced instructors available for both Tandem and Solo skydives, with an average of over 3,000 skydives each! All student and tandem rigs are equipped with an AAD (automatic activation device) designed to automatically activate your parachute should you fail to do so. In addition to the skydiving school and tandem program, Skydive Twin Cities offers facilities to accommodate team training and fun jumpers. Skydive Twin Cities' facilities offer the finest in comfort for jumpers and spectators alike. Skydive Twin Cities offers indoor packing, a covered creeper pad, and the finest grass landing area in the world!
